All the produce grown in the Victory Garden goes into Gleaners Community Food Bank, and from there out into the community. We stock the shelves at the Shared Harvest Pantry, and we share with other food pantries in the community as well. Some food pantries have a garden growing for them, but not all, so we like to ensure all pantries have some produce. We also share with our partner agencies, take produce to special events, and then we deliver produce to some targeted areas where we know our low income residents are living or going to for services etc.
Today I took a small delivery to a local mobile home park. While I was dropping of the produce a young boy asked if he could have some strawberries. (He did not want the sugar snap peas) His mother was very happy to have freshly harvested strawberries, and she even took a small container of peas home to try. I call that a successful delivery!
